RedArmy Posted 30 November, 2019 Share Posted 30 November, 2019 I still don’t blame Ralph. The players are simply not good enough. It’s also his job to motivate the players. How many players on that pitch look bothered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morse Posted 30 November, 2019 Share Posted 30 November, 2019 Are we the worst team in Premier league history? Quite possibly. Is it worth watching the second half? I think we all know how it ends If we don't win, officially yes. No team in the history of top flight football (all 130 years plus) has failed to win any of their opening 7 fixtures. Another record about to be broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydney_saint Posted 30 November, 2019 Share Posted 30 November, 2019 There are only a handful of players that look like they care most games (not judging on talent as that is how poor we are). Ings, JWP, maybe Redmond, maybe romeu. No opinion on Obafemi who is just out of his depth. Rest go through games drifting with the occasional good performance Sent from my CPH1835 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donatello Posted 30 November, 2019 Share Posted 30 November, 2019 I still don’t blame Ralph. The players are simply not good enough. Likewise. He's made some fairly questionable decisions this year, but this team is bottom 6 *whoever* the manager is, and will eventually have a bottom 3 season. Almost every position on the pitch is lacking in some capacity...there aren't many strong points on an individual level - most of these players would probably get by in a Prem squad if there were 3/4 quality players to base them around, but there simply aren't anymore.

lloydie Posted 30 November, 2019 Share Posted 30 November, 2019 I can’t get overly emotional about them tbh. If they aren’t good enough, they aren’t good enough. Watford are poor but still a PL side, this Saints side have dodged a bullet the last two years and would be in the bottom three of the Champ as well. When you are effectively a lower league side, you have to put in a cup final level of effort to compete or cause a huge upset like they nearly did last week every week and they can’t do that. How many consistently PL standard players has SFC got? Ings is the only one really, Boufal, Romeu and Redmond on their days. PEH solid Championship, JWP do a job at that level mid table for say Bristol City. Berty lost his appetite for the game as has Cedric. Vesty Champ/L1, Stephens L1, Long Champ, Obafemi National League, seriously, Gary Johnson has better loan players at Torquay from Bristol City. He is no better than Tyreke Johnson on loan at Woking. I’d like to at least see some hard work second half and try and cause a shock against higher level opposition. At least work for the shirt swapping at the end which seems to be the highlight. The club just needs to do what it’s going to do if Gao doesn’t sell up and see if we still have a club left at the end of it. What happens inbetween is irrelevant really. I know we’re **** and going down but that’s a load of ********. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obelisk Posted 30 November, 2019 Share Posted 30 November, 2019 Given that the Saints defence is so shaky, slow and prone to errors why on earth do they receive so many passes back from the midfield? Djenepo seems to have a look around him and has decided that he'll have to try and do the job on his own. At least have a go at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttawaSaint Posted 30 November, 2019 Share Posted 30 November, 2019 The players just don't look that bothered really, sauntering off at half-time. Why would they be? They’ll get a nice wad of cash and go home in their Ferraris to **** their hot wives. They’ll get a new club, they don’t care about SFC like we do.

stknowle Posted 30 November, 2019 Share Posted 30 November, 2019 Let's be honest, any team in this league starting with Stephens and Bednarek as CB's is likely to struggle. That is just such a wincingly weak pairing, so so weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted 30 November, 2019 Share Posted 30 November, 2019 I don't see how you can not blame Ralph, at least to some extent. If you blamed Puel, Pelligino, and Hughes, then why would Ralph get a pass. Frankly I'm starting to see the smarts is Puel anyway. He played a style that they thought we could win with (given our players), even if it was crap. Better than forcing a style we have not hope of doing.

AdrianC Posted 30 November, 2019 Share Posted 30 November, 2019 It makes no difference how long there is to go in the season. This has been the same since the season started, absolutely dire. There is nothing that can happen to change things around now. If the players aren't showing fight, passion and an understanding of where they are by now then there is nothing that can make these players and this team avoid relegation. They will still get paid. Those people saying we shouldn't judge until we've played everyone once, not to panic until February or March, when exactly will it sink in that this team is shockingly bad and are incapable of turning things around. I thought Ralph may be able to do something but now, no. It doesn't make a difference if we win this match, the evidence is there before everyone to see. It's as bad as it can get.

Saint WGC Posted 30 November, 2019 Share Posted 30 November, 2019 I don't care if we get picked off on the break by piling forward - what annoys me most is the spineless tossers can't even be positive on the ball and give the strikers some service. We just go sideways and backwards the whole time. The big problem is that Deulofeu has not started playing yet, once we do, we are in big trouble. 0-3 at the end.

saint1977 Posted 30 November, 2019 Share Posted 30 November, 2019 The players just don't look that bothered really, sauntering off at half-time. They just aren’t good enough to compete at this level and they know it. Ings is the only one really who is. I think they might just about survive in the Champ if they worked hard with a cup final mentality but they are realistically top six League One on stupid wages because of that old fool. I agree the work rate isn’t good enough though, and if they try and play open football even against Norwich it’ll be heavy defeat. I don’t like playing direct but it’s the only way with this team. They can’t pass water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
